I took mine off and put a free float on so no it doesn't move. Call Del Ton. They may have a fix.

Thats the way all aare made...........the gas tube passes through a hole in the handguard cap...........the front sight base keeps the handguard cap from moving forward, and a step machined in the barrel keeps it from moving backwards...........albeit, when the handguards are in place they too are keeping the cap from moving backwards as well..........Nothing is holding it rock steady.......there is some movement in all............
